Sure, if you can afford it. I replaced another cabinet (for my Barracuda)
with the Trinketbox, and it runs *much* cooler now. Also, a big local
supplier here always recommends the Trinketbox for the 'cudas - and they
do this from experience (those Barracudas run hot!)

Btw, the Web page for the Trinketbox mentions 'the new 10000 RPM drives'.
Anybody heard more details of these yet?
